    Stacie8412- That IS a rooster! And I would gladly take him off your hands if you want. My rooster died this morning and I need a grown replacement.

    My beautiful rooster-died!!! I think a snake got him :( anyone know where I can get a mature rooster? Anyone want to ship me a rooster? I would pay for shipping. I do not want to raise a new chicken, I was excited to see broody hens with chicks coming soon after the summer heat :(

    My flock will run to greet me and then follow me. Sometimes some will get accidently stepped on because even though I am being careful, they still manage to get in front of me and under my feet. Usually they will hang out with me for a little while and then go back to their chicken lives. My...

    Why are my girls not laying yet? We do not have everyone else's winters. I live in the desert and we have 65-70 degree weather right now. It should be great laying weather? I want my eggs!!! They are about 20 weeks old at this point-not sure exact age, I lost track. They were born in late July I...

    Too CUTE!!!! Ahhh the nightmare I had came true. My dog killed 2 of my 7 week old chicks today. The bigger hens didn't even try to help. My ROO didn't even help. I am sad. Dog wont be going in the backyard anymore.

    I had a nightmare a few days ago about my Cocker Spaniel eating one of my baby chicks. It is a horrible thought. However I would not kill my dog if he did. I would Kick his *** but not kill him. He was a member of our family first and although I love my chickens-I love my dog more. That being...

    I am so sorry! I cant imagine how awful this experience is for you. I hope you did something about those dogs! I don't believe in hurting dogs because I have my own but.....I think my foot would've ended up on the rear end of that dog!! We are experiencing a bad coyote problem here and I am...

    Anyone have problems with their girls not roosting? I am sick of them losing feathers because they fight over their cuddle positions! They are 14 or 15 weeks old and geez I have seen them bicker and scramble for who sleeps in what spot in the huddle!

    Pale in buff coloring or pale in comb? The one in the picture has the reddest coloring, which is why I was curious. I have a few that are not as dark in Buff coloring as her, they look closer to actual buff.

    Ok I did the Safeguard treatment. Who would've thought my cockerel Polish would be the easiest?! I had a HARD time with my second in command Lisa-she is a big Buff already and she kept squirming. I finally got her to do it by getting a GOOD grip on her wattle and forcing her to let me do it. She...

    Okay I will try it again, I think I am worried they will get hurt. If ALL else fails I will do the tweezers!

    HELP! I tried to administer the Safeguard today and I couldn't get them to open their beaks! I tried the pull lightly on the wattle thingy, I tried to manually open them, they wouldn't open them and one of them got really mad and pecked me!!

    Mine are from a hatchery and have been very good girls! Just this last week my second in command jumps on my lap and lets me pet her for a minute. They run REALLY fast to me when they see me because they know I probably have treats. I usually do have treats because if I don't they look at me...

    Hi Amanda I am subscribed to your Big Chicken thread. If they are the same size or at least height of Big Chicken then no they are not bantam. Welcome to the thread and get those pics up!

    How far in do I put the tip in? Also, how do I get them to open their beaks? I will start around 5pm-in like 4 hours.
